German Grand Prix – 20th – 22nd July

After a couple of weeks’ break, the 2018 Formula One season resumed in Hockenheim, Germany and the time to rest, train and rethink strategies clearly benefited Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes as he came back with resounding success and stole 1st place.

Hungarian Grand Prix – 27th – 29th July

There was just a week to prepare before the races continued in Budapest, Hungary but the quick turn around clearly didn’t hinder Hamilton’s performance as he stayed firmly in 1st place, extending his lead in the overall rankings even further.
